St. Michael, Catholic church in Neustadt-Nord, Cologne, Germany.
St. Michael is a Catholic church built between 1902 and 1906 in the Neustadt-Nord district of Cologne, featuring Romanesque Revival architecture designed by architect Eduard Endler with a Latin cross floor plan and two prominent towers.
The church was constructed starting in 1901 to serve the growing Catholic community during Cologne's industrial expansion, with its foundation stone laid in 1906 and dedication held on Michaelmas of that same year.
St. Michael functions as an active house of worship for the Catholic community in Cologne and hosts religious services, community gatherings, and occasional concerts that strengthen social connections within the neighborhood.
The church is located at 1a Brüsseler Platz with postal code 50674 and has limited wheelchair accessibility, so visitors should contact Diakon Ulrich Merz for current visiting hours and event schedules.
The church interior features unusual reddish-yellow geometric patterns on its ceilings that were repainted in 1974 and preserves remnants of original colorful floor designs in its side chapels from the early 1900s construction period.
